It doesn't feel right that lightning strikes can transform dinitrogen into nitrates and ammoniates that fertilize soil. It feels like an excuse the druid in the party used to justify their druidness after someone pointed out they only cast lightning spells.

It’s always 20 years that they claim to have been doing this, and they always think that’s somehow impressive, but all I ever hear is that they started a hobby and never bothered to do a single bit of research on it in two decades.

My favorite is when they claim that a full water change will kill the cycle but that the cycle also lives on every surface. A full water change will alter your PH, GH, KH, and TDS, all of which can harm or kill your fish and inverts if you don’t acclimate them to it, but unless you’re leaving your filter off/out of water for an extended period and/or putting untreated water back into the tank, it’s not going to kill your cycle. They’re also correct that the bacteria lives on every surface, but the MAJORITY lives in your filter, where the most oxygen is at, which is why you can set-up a brand new tank with an established filter and have a fully cycled tank.

Nitrogen is the most abundant element in our planet’s atmosphere. Approximately 78% of the atmosphere is made up of nitrogen gas (N2).

Nitrogen is a crucially important component for all life. It is an important part of many cells and processes such as amino acids, proteins and even our DNA. It is also needed to make chlorophyll in plants, which is used in photosynthesis to make their food.

As part of these life processes, nitrogen is transformed from one chemical form to another. The transformations that nitrogen undergoes as it moves between the atmosphere, the land and living things make up the nitrogen cycle.

Despacita’s babies are all walking on the surface tension!

I stayed at a friend’s place over the weekend and came back to a snail and duckweed explosion. Here in these two pics I’ve cleaned it up but it had completely eclipsed the surface of the tank and all the baby snails were tarzanning about on the roots. I wish I took a picture now but the amount had filled up an entire breakfast bowl. I’m sure it will happen again cause duckweed is always super prolific.

I’ve lassoed all that could fit into a loop of airline tubing and tucked them into the corner. I use a bit of fishing line and a plant weight to anchor it down. They’ll break free and spill over eventually but I like how tidy it looks for now and the snails can still chill on them.

Floating plants are actually very helpful in reducing nitrates so I’m happy to see them grow. I’ve got a wider leaf variety recently: Red root floaters (Phyllanthus fluitans). They don’t have their red roots just yet but the critters love hanging out on them like mini lilly pads.

Re: your tags, PLEASE tell me about soil microbes. I only know them as funky l’il guys who break down dead matter and some of them can make you sick.

I would be happy to talk about soil microbes! They ARE funky little guys who break down dead stuff, or at least some of them are, and they're basically the foundation of nutrient cycling. Which gets very complicated very quickly, because there are ALL KINDS of nutrients and ALL KINDS of microbes that deal with them. I mostly know about carbon cycling, and a bit about nitrogen cycling, because that's why I and my coworkers study.

You've got microbes that take atmospheric nitrogen and turn it into stuff plants can use (nitrogen fixation, these include the critters that live in legume roots), and then you've got several other kinds of microbes that shuffle nitrogen from one form to another (nitrifiers, denitrifiers, probably others I'm not aware of). Carbon cycling involves SO MANY TYPES OF MICROBES, it's ridiculous, but my favorites are the methanogens - the ones that make methane. There are also methanotrophs, the ones that eat methane.

And all these little creatures have specific soil conditions that they need in order to do their jobs - methanogens like environments without oxygen, for example (that's not their only requirement though. These dudes are COMPLICATED and they have a whole list of chemicals that have to be absent in order for methane production to happen. Basically, the reaction by which methane is produced is one way to break down organic matter, but it's STUPIDLY INEFFICIENT so the methanogens get outcompeted by the more efficient microbes unless those other guys just don't have the materials they need to do their more efficient chemical reactions. These necessary chemicals are called Terminal Electron Acceptors and include stuff like iron, nitrates, nitrites, sulfates, etc.).

Biological nitrogen fixation accounts for most of the conversion of atmospheric N2 into ammonium, and thus serves as the key entry point of molecular nitrogen into the biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen (see Figure 13.1).

You smell like the idea that the trees can taste the ocean through the corpses of salmon: a green smell. Like dill and salt and rock-copper, like juniper and cedar with a bit of um. the fancy whale-vomit thing. I don’t remember the name. You smell like mist and a leaving boat a a very bright sky blue and unripe March manzanitas. Not a sharp smell but very clear and vivid

ambergris: only the very fanciest of whale vomit.

#love you all. would love to smell like the nitrogen cycle incarnate #ask meme #last of those! good day everyone

Did you know that older Lykois develop devastating cystic acne all over their bodies and Scottish Folds are condemned to chronic joint pain??

#i know this girl who keeps buying scottish folds and they all end up dying mysterious early deaths it's awful! #don't even get me started on fish husbandry. if your fish always immediately die. well. that's not normal. #ask me what you're doing wrong but google nitrogen cycle first

i get to set up a fish tank yippee wahooo hurray. this is my special enrichment for this weekend

#no time to nitrogen cycle sorry fish #im so excited tho im gonna buy some driftwood to go in there #and some plants #ahhahahahaha AHAHAHAHA I FUCKING LOVE AQUARIUMS

[femmeidiot]

Can I ask why the nitrogen cycle is your beloathed? Like is it just the vibes

because I can't fucking memorize it to save my life I had to memorize it for multiple classes and I just couldn't. I hate it!!

If u fr have a axolotl can I see a pic of them :D

I don't take pictures that often so I had to scour through my phone camera, but here's Benrey, in all his silly glory.

When he goes outside of his little hideout cave, he loves hanging out either on top of his tank plants or on top of his hideout.

And here's some more of shoots with him

#he has a 80L/20gal tank #I need to buy a bigger one for him because that's the MINIMUM REQUIREMENT for axolotls #but I'm not too much in a hurry because the nitrogen cycle in his tank is stable #I also have a 40L/10gal betta tank #and a 300L/~80gal community tank #atp the nitrogen cycles in those tanks are so stable that I really only need to top off any evaporated water ever month or so #also fun fact about benrey: the only reason I have him is because of a divorce #I remember looking for local axolotl listings at the time and I couldn't find any in my city as axolotls are pretty rare here #and then one random october afternoon on my way back to school my senses go off and I'm just like #''I need to check skelbiu.lt'' and lo and behold. a single axolotl listing in my area for 20€ #the axolotl was being kept in a plastic tub so the situation was seemingly dire #so my dad set up the meeting (because I was and am too much of a pussy to make calls) #and we met up by this gas station which was by a highway #so I ask the guy ''hey why are you selling this axolotl? they seem pretty rare around here'' #and he said ''oh I had a divorce and my wife took the aquarium in it. she didn't take him though'' #so yeah this axolotl with a prepetual old traumatized guy face is here because someone's wife took the aquarium in the divorce #I got the 300L community tank through similar means btw #If you want pictures of my other aquatic critters feel free to ask #jūr.txt #jūr.png

i am also a hs junior taking too many aps including env sci and somehow i did not absorb that fact about the phosphorus cycle. oops. but now im going to remember it forever and ever until may and pass the ap exam! hooray!

THANK YOU YAAAAY GOOD LUCK ON THE AP EXAM!!

#HANDHSAKES YOU ‼️ which aps are you taking? #also yeah phosphorus doesn’t have a gas cycle! thats why it’s the slowest biogeochemical cycle #fuck biogeochemical cycles though especially the nitrogen cycle . sorry #asks #anon
